Product Information
Full details
The TIMCO 7-inch End Cutters are designed for carpenters, joiners, and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable tool for precision nail extraction and wire cutting. Their primary benefit is the pincer head design, which offers exceptional leverage for pulling stubborn nails or cutting pins with minimal hand strain, though users should note they are limited to cutting hard materials up to 1.6 mm in diameter.

FAQs
What is the maximum material thickness I can cut?
These pliers are designed to cut hard materials up to 1.6 mm.
Can I use these to pull nails?
Yes, the pincer head is specifically designed to grip nail heads for efficient extraction.
Are the handles insulated for electrical work?
No, the rubberised handles are for grip and comfort, not electrical insulation. Do not use on live circuits.
How do I sharpen the jaws?
The jaws are precision-ground at the factory. Avoid DIY sharpening, as it can misalign the cutting edges.
What material are the jaws made of?
The jaws are constructed from hardened chrome vanadium steel for long-lasting performance.
Troubleshooting
Pliers are difficult to open or close
Apply a small drop of machine oil to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth to loosen debris.
Jaws are failing to cut cleanly
Inspect the cutting edge for nicks or debris. Ensure you are not attempting to cut materials thicker than 1.6 mm.
Rust appearing on the jaws
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation and apply a light coat of anti-corrosive oil for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for these pliers; they are ready to use out of the box. To maintain the life of your TIMCO end cutters, keep the pivot point lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation. After working in wet or dusty conditions, wipe the jaws clean with a dry cloth to prevent rust buildup. When not in use, store in a dry toolbox or on a wall rack to keep the precision-ground jaws from being damaged by contact with other heavy metal tools.
